Where is the VIN number in Peugeot 5008 (Peugeot 5008 III [2020-2020])?

This guide shows where to find the VIN (chassis number) on the Peugeot 5008 (Peugeot 5008 III [2020-2020]), produced between 2020–2020, including the easiest label location and the stamped body VIN in the engine bay.

Chassis Number Locations

B-Pillar / Door Jamb VIN Label

• Where to look: Open the front door and look on the lower B-pillar (the post between the front and rear doors) for a black manufacturer label with white text (VIN + weight ratings/paint info).
• Access: Low difficulty. No tools needed—clean the sticker lightly if dusty.
• Note: On RHD cars this label may appear on the opposite side compared with LHD markets—if you don’t see it on one side, check the other door jamb.
• Tip: Because it’s flat and high-contrast, you can scan the VIN instantly with your phone to avoid transcription mistakes.

Engine Bay (Inner Wing/Fender Apron Stamp)

• Where to look: With the hood open, go to the right-side inner wing/fender apron (passenger side on most LHD cars) near the coolant expansion tank. The VIN/chassis number is stamped into the painted metal, sitting between the coolant reservoir area and nearby engine mount/brace.
• Access: Medium difficulty. The stamping sits deeper in the bay and can be shadowed—use a flashlight and position your camera carefully.
• Note: This is a body-stamped number (not a sticker). On some cars it can be hard to see because the characters are stamped into body-color paint.
• Tip: If the stamp is dark/low-contrast, use ScanVin.app’s camera scan with steady framing so the OCR can pick up the stamped characters without you kneeling in an awkward position.

Windshield (Dashboard VIN Plate)

• Where to look: Check the lower corner of the windshield on the driver’s side, looking through the glass at the dash area for the VIN plate.
• Access: Medium difficulty. Easy to view from outside, but reflections and glare can block digits.
• Note: Best viewed in shade or with your body blocking direct sunlight.
• Tip: If glare makes the numbers “wash out,” capture it quickly with a VIN scanner so you don’t misread similar characters (like 8/B or 5/S).

Engine Block (Engine Number / Serial)

• Where to look: Deep in the engine bay on the front of the engine block, typically near the gearbox bell housing area or around heat shields (often more like an engine serial than the full VIN).
• Access: Very high difficulty. Often grimy and partially hidden; may require a specific angle or inspection mirror/borescope.
• Note: This is commonly an engine number, not the easiest place to confirm the full VIN for paperwork.
• Tip: If you’re forced to verify it in a tight space, scan it instead of writing it down to reduce errors while working at an uncomfortable angle.

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

• Stamped VIN hard to read in the engine bay: shadows + body-color paint reduce contrast—use a flashlight and wipe the metal lightly before trying again.
• Windshield VIN unreadable: glare/reflections hide digits—move the car into shade or change your viewing angle from outside.
• Sticker vs. stamp mismatch: door labels can be replaced—when buying, always cross-check the door jamb label against the stamped body VIN and the paperwork.
